UMass freshman goaltender Steve Mastalerz came through with the season pretty much on the line Saturday night, and for his efforts gained Hockey East Pro Ambitions co-rookie of the week honors.

Mastalerz stopped 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over New Hampshire. He also helped the Minutemen kill off both Wildcat power-play opportunities

Ironically, the other co-rookie of the week was impressive UNH defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, who scored two goals against the Minutemen in UNH's 4-3 win Friday night.
He had six shots on net, and was a plus-3 for the weekend.
